Connect production planning with work on the shop floor.
For MONTEE, T-NEX developed a production management application that brings together work plans, capacity and shop-floor execution. Employees receive instructions directly at the terminal and report completed steps. The application belongs to MONTEE.
MONTEE
Planning and production work together.
Work plans, orders and capacity connect planning with production.

The workflow is configured on the item. The template, photo capture and step confirmation define how subsequent work is guided at the terminal.

From the project
The task: connect planning with work on the shop floor
T-NEX developed a production management system for MONTEE that connects orders, work plans and operator guidance. Administrators maintain the operating instructions; workers see information for their current task on a tablet or terminal. MONTEE owns the product.
The connection is direct: the work plan stored against an item determines what appears at the workstation. Changes to sequence, material or instructions do not need to be described again in a separate terminal view. Planning and execution use the same business context.
From the project
Build work plans with instructions, media and checks
An item connects its work plan, bill of materials, media and the information needed for execution. Each step can contain instructions, images, videos, checklists and input fields. A layout template determines the presentation at the operator terminal.
The project therefore goes beyond an order list. Instructions are generated from maintained master data and guide the work. Required checks and confirmations are configured for the item and process concerned.
From the project
Plan orders, workstations and available capacity
Resource planning connects a prioritised order list with an allocation schedule. A Gantt view shows plans by workstation or employee and exposes utilisation and conflicts. A time buffer can reflect the shift capacity actually available for scheduling.
Planning optimisation produces a proposal that requires confirmation before acceptance. Additional orders can also be assessed within the plan. Scheduling remains an accountable decision, with its effects made visible before changes are applied.
From the project
Use qualifications and shifts in planning
Employees, qualifications, a skills matrix and shifts are maintained in connected views. Qualifications can have validity periods and advance warnings. The matrix shows existing evidence and where additions are needed.
Planning can respond differently to missing qualifications: ignore them, show a warning or block the relevant allocation. This setting belongs to the chosen operating process. A capture level named Compliance does not itself prove fulfilment of a particular standard.
From the project
Capture feedback at the operator terminal
The terminal displays work steps and associates feedback with the record. Depending on configuration, this can include completion confirmations, quality checks, photos and measurements. Bills of materials and relevant documents remain accessible in the work context.
Work plans, images and bills of materials can be cached locally. Feedback, photos and confirmations are buffered during connectivity loss and synchronised later. A visible synchronisation status supports operation; a device must not simply be reset while data is still pending.
From the project
Add controlled data migration and AI support
The application includes migration from a legacy system organised by business domain. Source and target objects can be traced for each area. Introduction therefore connects the interface, master data and existing records.
AI assistants support the preparation of work plans and the import of product information. Your team reviews the suggestions before applying them.
FAQ
Questions about the solution
Is MONTEE a standard T-NEX product?
No. MONTEE owns the product. T-NEX presents its development work on this customer project and the connection between planning, the data model and shop-floor operation.
What determines the operator terminal’s display?
The work plan maintained against the item supplies steps, instructions and related content. The configured layout template determines how they appear. Master data therefore directly affects workstation operation.
Can the operator portal continue through a network outage?
The documentation describes local caching and later synchronisation. Pending feedback remains on the device until it has been transferred. Device and synchronisation handling are part of the operating process.
Can a comparable workflow be developed for us?
Yes. We review requirements, existing systems and suitable components for your project. Customer-specific code is not assumed to be freely reusable.
